Good product but would have been good /better hob and oven could work simultaneously. Timer a bit unreliable.

Bought as a gift for my son. Arrived on time, well packed. Substantial solid appliance to be used on worksurface - not flimsy or tinny. Not used very much yet but seems to cook everything well. Temperature setting needs to be set a little higher than a conventional cooker

This was for my Mum who lives in sheltered accommodation, it's a bit smaller than her previous mini cooker but still ok. The only issues are you can't use the hit plates at the same time as the oven and the oven door gets very hot to touch.

I bought this product about 4 weeks ago and tried it for few times, I thought everything working efficiently, it heats up quick enough and actually, cooks things with not a lot of electricity. However, it could have a light to see how food taking shape in there.

This product is a very good choice for this price. Oven is great and does its job perfectly. the Hobs are ok but I miss the possibility to change low, medium or high heat on each plate.

My second mini oven, I found my first so useful. After two weeks use I am pleased. Saves using big cooker, such a waste for only one and takes more effort in bending and stretching and lifting. Looks good and all I have cooked so far has been successfull. I am not likely to use the hobs as it would need more stretching to reach top. I did not consider them when choosing, they were just an optional extra. Anyone else using it on my behalf may well make use of them Price is reasonable for what is given.

Heats up quickly and cooks good well. However it does make a very annoying noise while it's cooking ... sounds like it's going to conk out but doesn't
